You're editing my Bombay Dreams entry, so I thought I'd pop by and say hi! Is the work going ok, I'm not exactly sure what the sub-ed's do so sorry if I sound a bit dippy.
Hi Menza

I've not actually started on your article yet. I'll be sure to let you know when I do, but it will probably be sometime this week.
As a Sub-Ed I do things like:-
Check the spelling and grammer.
Add extra info that other people have suggested (if appropriate).
Check the spelling and grammer again (just in case 
).
Make sure the style of writing fits with the guide's style.
Ensure the formatting is neat and tidy.
Link it up to other edited articles or web sites as appropriate.
And just generally give it a quick polish so that it gleams nicely when it goes on the front page. 
If you have any last minute changes you would like to make, now would be a very good time to tell me.

Just the one, I don't think I've put 'original cast' for the names listed in the cast list. And I know that some of the originals have now left. But aside from that I think everythings as it should be. And I'm sure your spelling and grammar is fine!!

Right, tis edited, I think.
If you would care to cast you eyes over this A1051543 and give me your verdict. I'll then hand it back to the editors.
I've only made a handful of small changes, overall its a very good article.

Okay, one mistake and I think it's mine.
Track 10 should be I Could Live Here, not I Could You Live. 
Otherwise, great work!
Hi Menza
Menza Posted Jun 10, 2003
Fixed.
Hows that for service.
If thats it I'll sent it back to the editors.

Far speedier than I would have thought possible!
*waves bye bye to entry* Send it to the Eds, but tell them to be gentle!

Gone.
That was the first article I've edited in over 18 months. So I hope they like it.

That's the first article I've been the sole writer of, my other two, one rescued from flea market, one a collaborative! I'm so proud!!
